Paycheck Calculator 2026
Oregon Paycheck Calculator
Estimate take-home pay in Oregon after federal income tax, Oregon state tax, and FICA. The state rate below is pre-filled — adjust it for local taxes if needed.
Use this free Oregon payroll calculator and Oregon paycheck calculator for 2026 net-pay estimates — the same tax math Gusto runs on every payroll.
Pre-filled with a progressive state income tax (about 8.75% for a typical middle income). Estimates use current (2026) federal brackets and standard deductions and don't account for pre-tax deductions, credits, or every local rule — your actual paycheck may differ. Gusto runs these figures exactly on every payroll.
Oregon take-home pay by salary
Here's the estimated 2026 take-home pay for a single filer at three common salaries in Oregon, after federal income tax, Oregon state income tax, and FICA. Adjust the calculator above for your own numbers.
| Annual salary | Federal tax | OR state tax | FICA | Take-home / yr | Take-home / mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $45,000 | $3,220 | $3,937 | $3,443 | $34,400 | $2,867 |
| $65,000 | $5,620 | $5,688 | $4,973 | $48,720 | $4,060 |
| $95,000 | $12,070 | $8,313 | $7,268 | $67,350 | $5,613 |
FICA is Social Security (6.2%) plus Medicare (1.45%). Figures assume the standard deduction and no pre-tax deductions; your actual paycheck depends on your W-4, benefits, and any local taxes.
Oregon payroll calculator: income tax, no sales tax
Oregon has no general sales tax, and it taxes wages instead. The brackets are 4.75%, 6.75%, 8.75%, and 9.9%. This Oregon payroll calculator pre-fills 8.75%, the rate on most of a middle income. The first several thousand dollars of taxable income are taxed at 4.75% and 6.75%, so applying 8.75% to the entire salary overstates the bill. The 9.9% rate applies only in the top bracket, which starts above $100,000.
What else comes out of an Oregon paycheck
Two employee amounts sit outside the state-tax column. The statewide transit tax is 0.1% of wages, with no wage cap — $65 on a $65,000 salary. Paid Leave Oregon is a 1% contribution on wages up to $184,500 in 2026; employees pay 60% of it, which is 0.6%, or $390 on that salary. TriMet (0.8237%) and Lane Transit (0.80%) are employer payroll taxes based on where the work is performed. They are not deducted from the employee's paycheck.
